EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant moment captured by Darren Walsh during the FA Cup fifth round match between Manchester City and Chelsea at Etihad Stadium on February 15,2014, the Chelsea players come together to observe a minute's silence in memory of soccer legend Tom Finney. The image encapsulates the deep respect and admiration the football community holds for Finney, who passed away just days prior to this fixture. Tom Finney, affectionately known as "The Preston Plumber" was an English soccer icon, having made over 760 appearances for Preston North End and scoring an impressive 210 goals between 1946 and 1960. He also earned 76 caps for the English national team and represented England in the 1950 and 1954 World Cups. Finney's skill, determination, and sportsmanship left an indelible mark on the game, and his loss was deeply felt throughout the soccer world. As the clock ticked down to the start of the FA Cup fifth round match between Manchester City and Chelsea, the players from both teams gathered around the center circle, heads bowed, to pay their respects to Finney. The Etihad Stadium fell silent, as fans held their breath in a shared moment of remembrance for a man who had given so much to the beautiful game. This photograph not only serves as a testament to Tom Finney's enduring legacy but also highlights the camaraderie and sportsmanship that exists between football clubs, even in the heat of competition. It is a reminder that, at its core, soccer is about more than just winning; it is about the love of the game and the connections we make through it.
